I also had the unique opportunity to participate in Operation Deep Freeze 2010-2011 with the U.S. Air Force the year the discovery took place. Rest assured, the bottles were returned earlier this year as per the agreement with the Antarctic Heritage Trust. Read more @ http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/01/19/shackleton-whiskey.html.

Someone just needs to go on Kickstarter and use that to finance a second expedition, sample it, but this time sell it to whoever wants it, not just to the rich.
Also, my ass they didn’t drink it. In fact I would bet that if you tested what they put back, it would test as modern, if they even put it back at all. It’s the equivalent of taking about your “girlfriend in another town” in gradeschool, they know no one is going to the Antarctic to check.

Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:43:00 +0000http://www.slashgear.com/?p=266049#comment-268311The whiskey was bottled 100-years ago. The article is misleading. The “true” age of scotch is determined by how long it was casked. After the whiskey is bottled, it ceases to mature. So these were 100-year old bottles of 15-year old scotch. A shame they are putting greed over production. I would be interested in trying it. One year my wife bought me a bottle that was casked the year I was born- talk about spendy!!! :-o
